Things have been moved around in the user interface in the recent versions of Audacity. While some options look like they’re gone, they’ve just been relocated. So let me show you a few of the changes.

Let’s clean up and de-clutter the Audacity user interface by removing unused toolbars. This will free up valuable space that will give us more room for editing our tracks, while giving us a cleaner look at user interface while working.

Enjoy!
With the release of Audacity 3.6.2, came the return of the legacy compressor and the legacy limiter. In this video I show you where they are and why you need to add them back into any macros that use them.
I am currently unable to make a video of this because my recording room is getting a facelift, along with new paint, so it’s in complete disarray. But Audacity has released a public beta build of Audacity 3.5.0. It looks like some of the features that were in the alpha build were dropped in this current beta build. I’ve been testing the alpha build for the past couple of weeks and something that showed a lot of promise was the addition of audio meters in the individual tracks. But those meters aren’t present in this beta build. Maybe they’ll come back before the production version is released. I hope so. But they aren’t mentioned in the list of changes.
You can read that list and download your copy of the beta version by going to this link:

That’s it for now. Let me know your thoughts in this beta version of 3.5.0.

In this video I demonstrate the difference between non-destructive effects vs destructive effects in Audacity 3.2.0. Prior to Audacity 3.2.0 any effects added to a track were destructive, meaning each effect I added was embedded in the waveform itself, changing the waveform. As soon as I saved my project and closed the program, I could never undo what I had done. This is destructive editing. But starting with Audacity 3.2.0, that’s changed. We now have the option to use non-destructive editing where the effects I add don’t touch the waveform but remain external to it. This is non-destructive editing.
